I know dude! No offence, even beginner apps and React API wrappers are getting mentions in the hackathon, while some submissions took months to make, and still didn't get a mention.

Your app was awesome, and your use of Azure services was straight to the point, and I'm surprised it didn't make it. Though I'm sure the judges will put the reason forth...

I don't believe it... really... I don't believe it!
Don't get me wrong... I didn't want to be awarded as a winner... but not event a mention???
Now I am waiting for a proper reason :)

No offence here Samyuktha, I think your project is cool and really creative, I'm just trying to highlight the diversity of the submissions. I'm saying that many apps differ hugely on the timescale ideas, the presentation and everything, and though the only requirement of the hackathon was to use Azure services, most projects fulfilled the requirement.

I'm happy for the winners and was just curious to know why the project didn't make it ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

again... I didn't pretend to win the hackathon... but we got more than 110 reactions on our post about the project... :)
at least a mention as runners... is it too much?

@graciegregory
Can we say that's not acceptable at all ?!
Compared with other winning projects and runners up it's not fair at all, I don't want to sound rude and I'm sorry if someone of the partecipants will get mad with this but the level of some listed projects is really low compared to our one...

With more than 110 reactions we expect at least to get a reason why we're not even in the runners up while there are projects that are really "similar" to our one... (I say similar just for not saying anything else...)
Our project was one of the first to be posted after two weeks from the start of the hackathon, and the one I'm talking about was posted around the deadline date...We thought that with 10 days of judging you would have taken also these aspects into consideration...

Even the level of presentation of the project and of details in the blog post is not comparable, come on...

We are very disappointed.

You should give webcam permissions to the browser for let it work.
Iโ€™ve never said we should be the winners and obviously we didnโ€™t pretend to be as Kasuken said, Iโ€™m just comparing our project with the other ones as I would judge if I would have been in the judging side.
I congratulate with the winners but I was expecting much more attention in the judging for an important hackathon, nothing else.

Are you serious?! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
You should check the source code of Moodflix and compare it with Fakeflix before throwing stupid sentences! So in your mind we are so stupid that we also called it with a similar name if we want to โ€œhideโ€ this thing? We also mentioned it in the blog post!!
Canโ€™t believe it ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
